There's an article in today's Times about neighbors up in arms with kink.com's plans to buy the old State Arsenel and Armory building in San Francisco. They plan to make movies there. My favorite line: "Kink.com has already shot its first scenes in the armory, which has ready-to-use settings, including a shower room, a boiler room and a collection of horse stables."

FindMe,

Thank you for this post. I love the irony of this.
My favorite line was this:

"The Kink.com plan is the latest chapter in the long and somewhat tortured history of the armory, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. Built between 1912 and 1914, the brick-and-mortar building has long been a redevelopment challenge for San Francisco, with its landmark status and the city’s famously vociferous activist set derailing plan after plan over the last three decades." (emphasis added)

Followed shortly after by this:

"Planning officials said Kink.com had no major governmental hurdles because it planned to do very little to the building, aside from fixing some windows and installing some shackles."

Better than anything you could make up, thanks again.
